Many new RFQs now contain some references or requirements about environmental, social, or governance practices. Why should you care?

  • You need to know what ESG is so you can help your clients meet their RFQ requirements
  • You can attract clients who are concerned about ESG
  • You can be a better citizen and contribute to the better health and good of society

So, what is ESG? ESG refers to three key non-financial categories in evaluating a company’s risk profile and performance – environment, social, and governance. With so many international regulatory acronyms and rating systems, navigating the world of ESG can seem confusing.

ESG is also evolving, with disclosure and rating criteria that can vary based on various factors. That’s why ESG is unique to each company, with different starting points and different opportunities. Most companies already have some ESG practices in place, so no company ever starts from scratch.

ESG concerns will have a growing influence on the construction sector in the coming years. The construction industry is keen to act on ESG issues, but more transparency and consistent reporting will be required to maintain this progress.

Join the webinar to learn:

  • What is ESG?
  • The most critical facets of ESG for construction?
  • Who does ESG apply to?
  • Examples of failed ESG
  • Examples of successful ESG
  • Debunking common ESG myths
